Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Two wonderful thoughts are conveyed in this verse:
One –
God has made today and He is in control of ALL that happens in it. Focus on this fact and not on the circumstances that a day may bring forth. You may be tempted to grumble and complain about life OR you can do what God says in I Thessalonians 5:18, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
Be thankful when things are going the way you desire and be thankful when they are not. Good times and hard times are all part of the “everything” represented in 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
Two –
Rejoice. We need to have a good and joyous attitude about each day that God has allowed us to live through. To be glad is to be happy and happiness is a CHOICE we need to make every day. Happiness is not centered around what is happening around you, it should be centered in the fact that God loves you and has promised never to leave you nor forsake you. We have an eternity with God to look forward to and this truth alone gives us cause to be joyous through each and every day.
TODAY – Thank God and remember to rejoice in His love and presence in your life!
